William Buckley, Jr. Deserts McCain For Obama
Old man Buckley is flopping around in his grave.
The son of the late conservative thinker William F. Buckley is endorsing Barack Obama, though he still considers himself a conservative.
In an article entitled, "Sorry Dad, I"m Voting for Obama," on The Daily Beast, Christopher Buckley writes that Republican John McCain has betrayed his principals. McCain has changed positions on important issues, made promises he cannot keep, endorsed unworkable policies, and selected the inexperienced Sarah Palin as his running mate, Buckley writes.
The Arizona senator has lost his bearings, according to Buckley, while Obama has found his. Obama has demonstrated in the campaign that he has a "first-class temperament."
